How to Maximize Your Consignor Payout at The Luxe Loop: Insider Tips for Preparing and Presenting Your Item

Selling your designer pieces shouldn’t feel complicated. At The Luxe Loop, we make it effortless to turn your luxury bags, shoes, and accessories into cash and more closet space for your next splurge. But how you prepare your item can make all the difference in your payout. From item submission to shipment, here’s exactly how to maximize how much money you can earn from selling with The Luxe Loop.

Understand How TLL's Payouts Work

The Luxe Loop offers one of the most competitive commission structures in luxury resale. Your payout is based on your item’s final sale price:

• Up to $1,999: 25% consignment fee → you earn up to $1,499

• $2,000 to $2,999: 20% consignment fee → you earn $1,600 to $2,399

• $3,000 to $9,999: 18% consignment fee → you earn $2,460 to $8,199

• $10,000 and up: 15% consignment fee → you earn $8,500 and up

Your payout is calculated from the final sale price after applicable taxes, discounts, and payment-processing fees. The cleaner and more complete your item—and the faster it sells—the more you’ll take home, sooner.

Step 1: Submit Clear Photos and an Accurate Description

Every item begins with an online submission here. Before sending in your piece, upload clear, detailed photos and a short description so our team can review authenticity, condition, and current market demand. This information helps us determine if we can take on your item to sell on your behalf.

Photos to Include

• Front, back, and side angles

• Interior (open zippers and flaps fully)

• Corners
  

• Close-ups of logos, serial numbers, or stamps

• Any wear or marks—honesty builds buyer trust

Natural daylight near a window works best. Photograph against a clean, neutral background, and aim to shoot about 12–18 inches away for full-frame clarity.

Writing the Description

Be specific and transparent. Instead of simply saying “gently used,” share details that let know what areas to pay close attention:

• “Light corner wear and faint patina on handles”

• “Hairline scratches shown on front clasp”

• "Never worn, but shows minor marks on sides from storage over the years"

Specific, honest descriptions help us approve your item faster, which inevitably helps us get it up on the site more quickly to sell. 

Step 2: Wait for Item Approval

Once submitted, our team reviews your photos and description within seven business days. If your item is approved, you’ll receive an email confirmation with:

• Your official acceptance notice

• A prepaid shipping label
  

Only approved items should be sent to us—unapproved shipments will be returned.

Step 3: Prepare and Pack Your Item for Shipment

Once your item has been approved, it’s time to get it photo-ready. Think of this as the final touch before it meets its next owner.

Bags

Empty out all pockets. Then wipe surfaces gently with a soft, fragrance-free leather cleaner. For suede, use a suede brush to lift texture. Avoid alcohol, baby wipes, or any harsh household cleaners. If needed, vaccuum out any debris to ensure bag is as clean as possible. Finally, stuff the bag with some soft tissue paper to avoid any creasing or folding during shipment.

Shoes

Clean soles and insoles with a clean cloth and let air dry completely. Then reinsert tissue or form supports if you have them, as shoes that keep their shape photograph better and tend to sell for more.

Small Leather Goods & Jewlery

Polish gently with a microfiber cloth. Avoid liquid jewelry cleaners unless specifically designed for your metal type. Remember: presentation matters. A clean bracelet or wallet can sell for 10–20 % more than one with visible smudges.

Include the Extra Accessories

Buyers love completeness. Always include any of the following, if you still have them:

• Dust bags, boxes, cleaning cloths, or ribbons

• Authenticity cards, receipts, or care booklets

• Straps, keys, or hardware accessories
  

A complete set not only sells faster—it can increase your payout by hundreds of dollars.

Pack Carefully

Once cleaned and complete:

• Place your item in its dust bag, or wrap it in soft tissue

• Place it inside a sturdy box (or the original box, if available)

• Seal box securely and remove old shipping labels before putting on TLL's shipping label

• Drop it off at your nearest shipping location

Prompt shipping ensures your listing goes live more quickly, jumpstarting your payout clock sooner, rather than later.

Step 4: Sign Required Documents

Before we can list or process your item, you must sign and return two short forms that will be sent to you via email:

1. Consignor Agreement: establishes our selling relationship and outlines your rights, terms, and commission details. Please sign this before you send your item to TLL.

2. Consigned Inventory Confirmation Receipt: we will send this to you after we receive your shipped item. This verifies exactly which items you’ve sent to us and what we've accepted into our care.

You’ll receive both documents to sign electronically via Docusign. Once both documents are signed, our team can officially prepare and list your item for sale.

Final Thoughts

Consigning with The Luxe Loop is as seamless as it is rewarding. With thoughtful photos, honest details, and proper packaging, you help us present your item at its absolute best—and that translates directly into a higher payout for you.

Luxury pieces deserve a second story, and when you prepare them with care, that story only gets better the second time around.
